My external WiFi adapter stopped working with the latest update. It was working and downloaded the update (updating from the April update).
Windows lists it as ‘802.11ac Wireless LAN Card’ by ‘MediaTek Inc.’
I had previously disabled the onboard WiFi adapter as it had poor quality by editing the config.txt (as described in this forum post: Turn off onboard pi3 wifi).
Big OSMC fan, you guys do great work! Thanks in advance for any assistance
There is a potential issue with a missing file that is required by the mediatek driver.
Can you provide the URL from dmesg | paste-log so that we can crosscheck if it same topic.
Wifi dongle is no longer working with the June update, (worked great until the update). I have the Tp-Link Archer T2U AC600 wifi dongle. OSMC will not even recognize that it is plugged in to the USB port. Is there a driver install script that I need to get it working again? The internal Wifi on the Pi3 board is very sketchy Any help is greatly apperciated.

Here’s a picture of the dongle. I hope you get it figured out, I just bought 2 of them 2 days ago, lol. Should I hold out for a fix or should I return them? They worked great BTW, lol.
I’ll investigate. If it’s a missing VID/PID combo, it’s an easy fix.
But 8812au was the only driver I significantly changed, so shouldn’t be that.
The official dongle is MT7610U based and I only added support for 4.9 (tested). Didn’t change anything that would impact support for existing devices, so it needs further investigation.
Yea i did but solved nothing. After that till now i have received 2 updates by manually updating in my osmc but still no solution.
Looks like i should install osmc 16 and block updates and stay happy lol.
